Stop Chicks

A few days ago we ordered in Chinese food. I have 3 children who run the spectrum of liking food. Bryden will look at it and say "I don't like it". Hayden will give it all a go and then pick out what he likes and doesn't like. Landen doesn't have a picky bone in his body...if it is on a plate...he will eat it.

So, the food has arrived and I am pulling it out of the bags and opening everything up. Bryden is on the counter with "helping" me and she says "Mama, why do we have stop chicks?"

What?? Not sure what she was asking me, I turned to look at her and see her with a set of chop sticks :-) Bryden has a way with words...see post on Swabs and Bald Seagulls :-)

I don't think that I will ever eat Chinese food with chop sticks again without thinking of my sweet girl.

How Blessed



I think that I am pretty lucky...I have been blessed with a great family. I look forward to 2008 being a year that I create more opportunities to connect with my family. My kids love to read and color and swim (imagine that!!) and play outside (a bit cold for that right now) and play dressup (yes, all 3 of them) and just really be kids!! I love that and I don't want to miss out on a single minute.
